Luis Mendoza is so bad. I hope this start finally gets the hammer thrown down on him. His numbers aren't terrible, but when you watch him pitch, it's very clear that he either has it or he doesn't (like, from the very first pitch). And Ned will just leave him in there even when it's clear he doesn't have it going. When he doesn't have it going, it's time to pull him right away BEFORE something happens.

Give me Will Smith. Hopefully Duffy can get up soon.

OK so Will Smith is trash lately, too. Royals should just run a 4-man rotation. No reason to try to save Santana or Shields. Santana's gone after this year and Shields will be gone after that. If they don't win, they threw away Myers & Co.

Even when you guys are clearly superior, you still manage to drop 2 of 3 to the Cubs when we have a AAAA team.

I was at the game yesterday and I was unhappy McCutch wasn't awesome sauce. I demand you pay me back, Pittsburgh. Now that you're contenders, take Soriano from us for a couple decent to good prospects.
